My Vacation [part 2]

Continuation

Dec. 28: Our flights from Kalibo-Manila-Cagayan... (it was very, very tiring... and we also had to sid in the bus for 3 very long and sick and jet-lagged hours... i really don't like traveling that much)

Dec. 29: We had a mini reunion in MVC. Together with my Claveria family and also hte Caballero Family combined... it was very fun with all of the games my older cousins have prepared...

*these pictures were from a blindfold game where whoever gets the most cotton balls when the time runs out, then he/she will be the winner!*


*the Claveria girls... the original Claveria girls left have... may the rest rest in peace*

THE COUSINZ CRAZINESS

*these photos were taken when my ate and I took a walk around MVC*




*things why I love MVC... they have pretty plants and lots of dogs...*

Dec 30: Did nothing.. just stayed home... and watched TV...

Dec. 31: MY BIRTHDAY
they cooked and I just ate...



*the food*



*the family(still in my pjs...)*


*me and my mom and the some of the Caballeros*


*moi*


*the cake/icing fight*



*FIREWORKS... (wherever you are in the world... even where I was that moment... there's always fireworks when the clock strikes 12)*

Jan. 1: At 1 o'clock we had our morning worship.. so that we won't have toy wake up early... I almost slept through the whole day... just stayed home...

Jan. 2: Went to the city... went to Penshoppe and Jollibee and Dunkin... and bought Magnolia Ice cream mango flavor (my all time fave in PH and the reason I got sick... until now)*

Jan. 3: my blooper day.... It was a saturday... and I bumped my head 2 times in the Galloper, slipped while riding it, I fell while walking down the steps in the big church and I scraped my knee badly... All in a day's work... We had a potluck... and ate the ice cream and then I got a sorethroat later that day and so did all of my couzins who with me... (we, Claveria kids, have very sensitive throats...)

THE PHOTOSHOOT*
*Kuya Fritz, Ate DJ, me & Kuya Pep*


(Kuya Fritz is pretty cute huh? hehehehehe... he's actually my uncle... in my father's side... but he's also my couzin-to-be(maybe) in my mother's side.. LOL)


Jan. 4
: We had to wake up at 4 o'clock early in the morning. My aunt and uncle were sending us to my hometown which was 6 hours away. It was a really long day for us... so tiring too... But it was a good thing we rode the galloper, it was way more comfortable than riding a bus. (when i said comfortable I mean I could pee whenever I wanted to... I peed at the side of the road... thank goodness that the place was isolated.. hahahaha...)

Jan. 5: Went to the school where I was studying in before EIS. And there I met a few of my Elementary classmates and my high school classmates. I missed them very much.

Jan. 6: I went to General Santos City... there I shopped and shopped... didn't buy alot of things though, most wan't worth all that money... I realized I love the stuff here in TH way better... they're more worth it...

Jan. 7: We went back to GenSan again... and then we bought the stuff we brought back here to TH.

Jan. 8: Traveling time again... I had to pack very quickly and then we were sent by my uncle to GenSan airport and then the plane was delayed again. And then we met our other friends in the NAIA . We had a fun time there... eating and waiting the whole time... we also got to go to another plane because the first plane we boarded had some problems in its engine... it was too stressful and very tiring for me... especially because I was already sick since then... hahahahaha... I was so happy when my head hit my pillow, my own beloved pillow.. and also my beloved bed... oh how i missed TH... hahhahahh...


*So, it was a lot of stress and work and money to have a vacation like this... it was so tiring... every single day I had to do something... :(
Well, I'm glad it's done... but not that glad about the going to class again part... since I'm already well... :(
Well, just gotta bear with it... Hay naku! Well, that's life... we just have to deal with it the way we usually deal with it...*

THE END

My Vacation [part 1]

So, I said that I'm gonna write about my vacation... so here it is...

Well, technically, I'm not really in the mood of writing too much so I'm just gonna make it as short as it can get.

Dec. 21:We arrived at NAIA. W/ some family friends.
*watching "meet the Robinsons" with the kids... at the airport...*

Dec. 22:Arrive at Kalibo, Aklan where my relatives in my father's side are living.

Dec. 23: We traveled 5 hours by bus to Iloilo City where I was born. And I got to see my childhood friends there.

Dec. 24: Came back to Kalibo. Then had a Christmas Eve celebration there with family.

*unclear Xmas lights in New Washington, Kalibo, Aklan.*

Dec. 25: On my Christmas 2008, we went to Boracay! Known to be one of the country's most popular tourist destination.

*When we arrive in Caticlan, Aklan. Boracay Island. w/ my Aunt and my cuz.*


*While me and my ate were walking all the way from the island you can see from my back, where our hotel was located...
I had to walk all the way... imagine...*
*My cuz said that this is the "groto" (or something else that sounds like that..), and that this is where most movies, teleseries are shot like:
Marina, Your song (specifically:Sayang na sayang, My only hope, Sabihin mo na) and you can see in the pic in the left, I was trying to take a pic of myself and the coconut tree(, cuz this was the spot where a person in the movie wanted to commit suicide but then had second thoughts but when she backed up, her foot accidentally hit a rock and then she slipped off the mini islet. )*


*Then we went to have a swim at the sea,
(this is the first time for a very,very long time since I went to swim in saltwater beacause since I've been to Thailand, I've never swam in saltwater)*


*I was trying to go for an "Aquamarine" pose or image or something you know.... but it turned out like this... it was too against the lights*



*This is in front of the Mandarin Hotel and Regency Hotel...I really liked their lights and stuff so I gotta take a pic with it...
(sorry it's kinda blurry pictures... it's really semi-dark there)*





*just random pics i took in Bora...
(I really liked it there... not bad honestly for PH standards)*

Dec. 26: still in Bora...


*Boracay sand castles (castilyo'ng buhangin)*

Dec. 27: Went to church...

Recovering?... YES! yay!

So, I woke up late today... again. Well, what could stop me? I have all the time in the world. But, bored to death I am.
Well, I was hungry some time today, and a thought of the lasagna from Sugaroma just popped up out of nowhere. Then, I realized I can't go anywhere with these rashes I got. Then, when I looked at my arms, they were "almost" gone! I mean there were still some left, but the horribly massive pink patches all over my body was not that worse to look at anymore.
Well, I was very happy with the idea that I was recovering faster than I thought I would. With how ecstatically exuberant I was, I forgot of eating and drinking my meds. Don't worry though, I later remembered the eating part :P.
All day, I watched the 1st and then skipped to the last episode of a TV show named "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch". It was pretty fine, and that's all I can and got to say. Since yesterday I watched the 1st season of Chuck which I already have finished the 2nd season, so I'm looking for something entertaining to watch for tomorrow. I really realized the true essence for the phrase "Don't forget that there's still tomorrow" my parents always tells me when I eat everything in one serving. :D

Well, I'm really not sure of what I'm writing about right now, but my instincts tell me to stop writing because I need to sleep(that instinct of mine seem to be right beside me talking me into brushing my teeth and going to sleep).

Well, I found the right thing for me to do for tomorrow, I'm gonna blog about my past vacation, Chaaching! because I just remembered I was supposed to write about that. hehehehe

Later guys! I'm so sorry that this blog seems to be just complete nonsense. LOL

P.S. Belated Happy Birthday Meggie dearest!!! Love you!! hehehehehe... so sorry...

My Xtndd Brk due to Children's sickness.... speaking of best to worst case scenario...

Hey, it was our first day of school today, but unfortunately, I didn't get to go...

As I woke up today, (take note, it was 5:30)I was feeling a little numb, and my throat was sore, and my lymph nodes were swollen. And, since yesterday, I had noticed little rashes on my arms and body, but I just thought it had something to do with the weather. So, I got up to take a shower, and then was about to change into my uniform, but then my mom saw me and she said,
"What happened to your neck? It's looks ginormous(she didn't actually say this exact word)". And so, I looked in the mirror and saw myself(actually, I didn't think of it as myself. It was like in one of those movies where they wake up and found out their appearance change[like in freaky Friday]. So well, my mom didn't "allow" me to go to school. And so I got grouchy and all, complaining that I already had taken a shower(can you imagine?). My mom suspected that I have lumps AND measles. I was really okay with the lumps, but not the measles, I mean, it's kinda "for kids only" thing(well stereotypically saying).
Then I called Ma'am Dollie for a favor of taking my journal to school, for we have a deadline of 8:30 to pass it in. Thank you Ma'am Dollie! Then after that, I went to catch zzzzZZzzs.. a lot of them...

Then after I took that long nap, my mo woke me up and told me that she will take me to the doctor. So up to the doctor we went. The doctor first inspected my neck area, specifically the lymph node area. Then he asked me if I have a fever, and I said yes. (I've been having a fever on and off since last Tuesday, when I got the flu). Then I went on to say that I also have these "rashes" on my arms and legs and my face and... let's just say almost on my whole body. So I showed him... only the ones on my arms... of course. And he asked me some questions, that I researched about before which are the symptoms of measles(not mumps). So after all those "tests", he concluded giving me my diagnosis: GERMAN MEASLES.

At first, I was shocked, i felt funny actually...
"Isn't measles supposed to be for kids? Does that mean I I'm still considered a kid? No way! I'm not a kid anymore. So, WDH?"

The doctor gave me some medicines that I got to take: 5 different meds every 6 hours. Can you imagine? I have to wake up in the middle of the night just to take the meds... man!

Then, we went to ate something and then went home. Then I was left here alone again scratching myself dead. You know how sometimes it's all about the mind, when (maybe) it's not really itchy, but since you think or it seems like it's gotta be itchy or, no, actually just because it looks itchy... that's why I just can't control myself sometimes from just scratching it.

But thankfully, right now, I'm feeling better, I already took the meds, took a shower, put some anti-itching lotion, and put all the alcohol and lotion and freshener in front of me(i don't really know why though).

Well, I would have to stay the whole week in my room so I won't infect or spread it to other people. I hear it's very contagious(to some people, esp. to people who has low resistance, so if you are one of them, stay away from me. That, or if you are preggy. XD) Oh, please pray that Starlight didn't get the same thing, we were both sick that time, so her resistance was pretty low, so there's a great possibility. But please pray for her. She's pitiful enough just looking at her right now.

So, I get to stay home the whole week. Is that supposed to be good... or just great? LOL.
I'll get back to you whenever I feel like it... (Megan told me to do this one... that's why. hehehe)

P.S. Sorry. I feel like I wrote too long. Is it just me or is it just me? But whatever... I'm too lazy to reread it or cut some parts out of it though... just bear with me...

peace out! *sorry I've been watching some gangsta movies lately*

The first.... but hopefully not the last...

This is my first time to write a blog here... and I don't exactly know what to write. People have been fond of this blogging stuff for quite a while now, but at first I just didn't know how to start writing.
I'm sorry guys, but I'm really not confident on how I write. I've always been like this, but this is the first time I'll step out of my comfort zone a bit (New Year's resolution?).
I love writing, I certainly and honestly do, but I just couldn't overcome the pressure I get everytime feel there's something wrong with whatever I'm writing. This is just me, and no one can change me, even I am having a hard time changing myself. hehehehehe...
Now that my friends are really in to this blogging stuff, I'll try to catch up and blend in(I'm not really good at that). hahahahaha...
Kay guys! This is it for now, hope I can blog about something interesting next time! Maybe about my just-ended vacation to PH. I'll try not to forget to blog again...hehehehe... catch you later!
Ciao!

xoxo,
